{"product_id":"bli8112","title":"HO AAR 70-ton Triple Hopper Model (BLI8112)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO AAR 70-Ton Triple-Hopper is a detailed HO-scale model that recreates the classic North American bulk-car used to haul coal, gravel, coke and other bulk commodities. Based on the proven AAR 70-ton triple-hopper design, this model delivers authentic proportions and era-accurate decoration for HO layouts dating from the late 1930s through the 1980s. These hoppers were widespread on North American railroads—more than 33,000 were built—so the replica captures a familiar, historically grounded look in liveries such as a standard AAR scheme or Kansas City Southern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eDesigned for realistic operation and display, the model features accurate scaling from prototype blueprints, fine rivet detail on interior and exterior, and wire grab irons. It includes separate brake lines and hoses, two brake housing options (Ajax and Miner) and three brake wheel options (Ajax, Miner and Modern), plus two newly-tooled 70-ton trucks (solid bearing and roller bearing) with an improved mounting design for smoother running. Metal wheelsets provide prototypical wheel face contours and the cars come factory-equipped with metal Kadee-compatible knuckle couplers. A removable ABS coal load reveals a detailed interior, and the decoration is prototypically accurate with printed builder’s stencils and data. The Kansas City Southern four-car set offers four uniquely numbered cars for a believable on-layout roster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports (BLI)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933713645620,"sku":"BLI8112","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/BLI8112.jpg?v=1782315198","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/bli8112","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
